The filter is derived using the so-called salient points to approximate the integrals in the Bayesian estimation algorithm. The univariate salient points are determined by the moment match method and then the sparse-grid theory is used to extend the univariate salient point sets to multi-dimensional cases. Compared with the other point-based methods, the estimation accuracy level of the new filter can be flexibly controlled and the filter algorithm is computationally more efficient since the number of salient points for SPQF increases polynomially with the dimension, which alleviates the curse of the dimensionality for high dimensional problems. Another contribution of this paper is to show that the Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a subset of the SPQF with the accuracy level 2. The performance of this new filter was demonstrated by the orbit determination problem. The simulation results show that the new filter has better performance than the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and UKF.","PeriodicalId":225201,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133896848","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The state space is partitioned into sets of states where a specific control is applied. Each partition is represented by nodes of a digraph where the success of the control in traversing the partitions is represented by a connecting edge. Using the concept of capture sets in the field of differential games, it is shown that a set of states included in a particular partition is capable of reaching the target set if the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrix representing the digraph are all zero and none of the partitions are invariant. The advantage of this method is that it is possible to assign finite horizon controls to each partition that are easier to calculate than infinite horizon methods, but still maintain the infinite horizon guarantee of reaching the target. An example is given to illustrate the implementation of the proposed controller.","PeriodicalId":225201,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133860135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The accuracy of such a system depends on the location information of the bus at the base station. Consequently bus uses a fixed transmission policy of communicating periodically to base station. This periodic communication is generally expensive, and it is in fact one of the main factors that prevents aggressive deployment of such systems. In this paper we first propose new architecture and develop new framework to study the ATIS in a communication constrained environment and then propose three different techniques for implementation of the system that tries to minimize loss in accuracy in this constrained environment. Simulation examples are provided in the end to support the proposed theory.","PeriodicalId":225201,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131781266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, a methodology to derive a reduced-order Linear Parameter Varying (LPV) model from a set of medium(large)-scale Linear Time Invariant (LTI) models describing a given system at frozen configurations is described. The proposed methodology is in three steps: (i) first, local model approximation is applied using recent advances in SVD-Krylov methods, (ii) then, an appropriate base change is applied to allow interpolation, (iii) and finally, an LPV model is derived and converted into a Linear Fractional Representation (LFR) of suitable size for analysis and control purposes.

The objective of this paper is to search the optimal probability distributions under two cost functions. We show that the optimal scheduling distribution is computable by solving a quasi-convex optimization problem in the case we focus on the minimization of maximal estimate error among sites. When the cost function is the average estimate error of all sites, the scheduling problem for a set of special DTLTI systems can be casted and efficiently solved as a convex optimization problem by exploiting the structure of the underlying Riccati-like equation. Furthermore, we propose a deterministic scheduling strategy based on the optimal stochastic one. Finally, we show some simulation results to verify our strategies.","PeriodicalId":225201,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2011 American Control Conference","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133119023","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The theoretical results are demonstrated through application to a single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) reaction network relevant to the design of nanobiosensors.
